How Long Does Does It Take To Walk Independently After A Stroke?

We can expect more improvement.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your father's symptoms.
We can expect more recovery in him in future too, as recovery after stroke continues for up to two years after stroke also.
Also, doing physiotherapy under the guidance of MPT would be better than BPT, as MRP are trained in neuro more than BPT.
I hope he is on the oral anticoagulants such as warfarin or dabigatran tablets to prevent stroke in the future too.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist

Thank you again for your guidance. I will soon change the physio and get the mpt physio and hope for his faster recovery.
Yes, he is on those medicines.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back and sending the prescriptions.
He is already on those medicines- ECOSPRIN (aspirin) is the anti-platelet and pradaxa (dabigatran) is the anticoagulant.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
